Did you change something with the symlinks for the lib folders? For some reason kvirc wont run now because it hits the symlink for /usr/lib and errors out when its searching for a library

I'm not familiar with kvirc, couldn't find it in the KDE SFS or PPM. Please post a link to the pkgs and terminal o/p errors.

Thanks,

Deps:

Error:
You can see that it cant find the library even though its clearly included with the SFS package and is mounted into the file system. I dont know if this is because the sfs package has the file at /usr/lib which is a symlink in LHP or not. That's where the program looks for it though, and thats where it's built when the program is compiled.
However I copied the lib to the root app directory and then it'll find it.
But then it spits out the error.

Possibly related, possibly not.
I can load the kvirc SFS packge with the Load on the Fly utility, however I cannot unload it. Doing so gives the following error:
Which makes testing this very difficult since I have to keep rebooting after I make a change to the SFS.

When building an SFS per Fatdog64 convention, 64-bit app libraries go in /usr/lib64/, not /usr/lib/.

It doesn't matter with Pets or TXZ pkgs because clicking on them or installing with PPM in LH64 is tweaked to move them automatically. Extracting a pkg with right-click -> Extract-txz will do the same.

sfs_load can unload an SFS by right-clicking on the SFS -> sfs_load. It will ask if you want to unload it, click Yes, then the unload will work.

Instead of Multiple Sound Card Wizard, try the standard Sound Card Wizard in the Setup menu. With my setup I choose the second driver in SCW. When it finishes I open Retrovol and tick IEC958 to enable the digital output on my sound card.

6. We had already rolled MS Win8 back to 7 and moved HDD space usage around - but I used gparted to extract an 8g Linux Swap partition from the 500g I had formatted as ext3 between the MS partitions and the 420g partition for Linux.

The Ubuntu link you sent is so Ubuntu-centric it's not entirely easy to follow.

Do I read correctly that a Puppy Linux Frugal install will be forced into a fat32 partition?

Also, I get the "boot flag" of this but what is a "GPT disk"?

Thanks!

Creating an EFI partition

An EFI partition is necessary to install Ubuntu in EFI mode via the manual Ubuntu installer.

Since Ubuntu 12.04, it is possible to re-use an existing Windows7 EFI partition (without formatting it). If you use a previous version of Ubuntu, or if you have several installations of GNU/Linux in EFI mode, it is safer to create a new EFI partition EFI.

An EFI partition can be created via a recent version of GParted (the Gparted version included in the 12.04 disk is OK), and must have the following attributes:

Mount point: /boot/efi (remark: no need to set this mount point when using the manual partitioning, the Ubuntu installer will detect it automatically)

Size: minimum 100Mib. 200MiB recommended.

Type: FAT32

Other: must be located at the start of a GPT disk, and must have a "boot" flag.

Since the other error was possibly QT related... maybe something is wonky with QT?

Yes, thank you for the SFS list, I have updated the KDE SFS, replacing the outdated Qt-4.7.0 with Qt-4.8.2 and a couple of bug fixes. I think you'll find KVIrc now works. Here is the SFS list I tested with, booting 601 with pfix=ram and selecting these at the 5 sec. boot prompt: (Select and configure SFS.)

5_KDE-4.6.5-x86_64-H.sfs (includes Qt-4.8.2)

Flash-11.2.202.280-x86_64.sfs

Gvfs-1.12.3-x86_64-2.sfs

KMyMoney-4.6.3-1-x86_64-L1.sfs

KVIrc-4.2.0-2-x86_64-1.sfs

Transmission-2.75-x86_64-1.sfs

In Lighthouse64, the SFS files are sorted by basename so that names that begin with a numeral are layered above others. That is why our earlier tests with the Qt-4.8.2.sfs didn't work; (needed to layer Qt above the KDE SFS by prefixing the newer Qt SFS file name with a numeral e.g., 3_Qt-4.8.2.)

@edoc,
Lighthouse64 Universal Installer can only detect and install to Linux or vfat/ntfs partitions. 601 does not have any UEFI support. I am working on installer updates as follows for the next release:
